SOCCAR ² URBAN FARM

Conceptual architecture project | Brussels | 2016 The Soccar ² project is a prototype of what an intensive urban farm could look like in the centre of the city. The purpose of this try-out is to investigate the transformation potential of empty warehouses through research by design. The studied warehouse is currently housing a second-hand car trade company (Soccar) that will have to move out because of new local legislation. It is located in the Heyveart neighbourhood, very close to the historical centre of Brussels and offering great potentialities for residential development. Following the urban metabolism precepts this urban farms is trying to minimise the outputs and imputs of the city by keeping food production and food waste recycling inside of the metropolitan region.

The experiment is taking an architectural shape to explore the viability of such a project. In addition to this, raw data was also collected from existing urban farms and applied to this case to demonstrate the sustainability of this approach in opposition with the food importation from southern Europe. The ground floor is housing the supermarket where the local food is sold, the administrative offices and the catering service are located on the first floor. The other half of the first floor and the second level house an aquaponic LED enlighted culture and the roof is devoted to more aquaponic culture but under a mix of natural and artificial light. As the section (above) is showing there is a visual connection between the supermarket and the agriculture areas. This ocular relation is important to reconnect the consumer to the production phase of his food.

The amount of food that is wasted every year in the agrofood business accounts for one third of the total output, this problem could be partially taken care of by producing locally with a cyclic approach.

Avoid having to harvest the vegetables too early so they can get ripe during the traject

AMDEWORK URBAN METABOLISM

Analytical urban planning publication | Ethiopia | 2016 This publication falls within a broader project centered around the development of small and medium-sized cities in Ethiopia. The analysis is made through maps, axonometries and pictures, the maps show the greater fluxes and territories while the axonometries and the pictures depict the different typologies of housing, public spaces and amenities. The aim of this work is to precisely understand the current urban form and the way it is working, to be able to implement more sustainable approaches when these settlements grow. This work is the result of a strong and intense collaboration between the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development, the ULB and the local authorities.

The middle-sized town of Amdework is located in the Amhara region in the Northern part of Ethiopia. This town was chosen for an in-depth analysis because future developments (Roads, medical and educational ) will transform the town in a local economical and commercial hub. The fast pace at which the population is growing might place the city in an delicate position, concerning water, food and energy issues in this arid region. Therefore it is capital to understand the inner workings of the urban area to be able to address these problems. Data was collected though interviews with local inhabitants and technical explanations with the local authorities. This information has then been digested and translated into maps schemes and drawings by a team of urban planners, architects and engineers. The axometries where added to this work to give a more visual and spatial preview of what this town is really like. The housings have been separated into different typologies and the functioning of public spaces is explained through drawings of the different utilization and operation they host. The different categories of housings have also been mapped, showing how the various neighbourhoods generate the urban fabric.

MUDAC & ELYSEE MUSEUMS

Architecture project | Lausanne | 2016 The Mudac and Elysee museums project is part of a competition launched by the city of Lausanne for the creation of a museal pole in the city. The program proposes to work on the idea of a building combining two museums, one of photography and one of design as well as the complementary mixed program. The site offered by the city is characterized by its location. Indeed, it is completely enclosed at the end of the plot, along the railroad tracks and ending the axis of the museum of fine arts, a project that was the subject of an earlier competition. In this logic the project proposes to work on axes and openings in order to make the territory more permeable and the museums more accessible.

OOSTENDEN KUSTLINT

Urban planning vision | Ostend | 2017 The city of Oostende commissioned the 1010AU architecture and urban planning office to give them a vision of what the coastal area of the city could become. The focus was put onto the touristic ribbon that follows the beach and on the harbour area. The coastal ribbon suffers from its too intensive economical ties with the tourism economy and is practically empty during the off-peak period. The answer to this is to diversify the housing typologies and to reconnect this area with the day to day city. On the other side the harbour neighborhood is in the process of industrial and commercial restructuring and needs to find new economical activities. The proposal is therefor focusing on bringing some touristic activities that can be linked with the fishing heritage buildings. This approach is giving the opportunity to develop other economic sectors in symbiotically with the tourism.

The harbour area has almost completely lost all of its fishing industry to the profit of fish transformation factories and of offshore wind turbines assembly docks. Most of the ground and warehouses still lay empty, this space can be used to create new facilities that are linked with Ostend`s immaterial heritage. But also created new economical sectors linked with local and sustainable food and energy production. A new residential neighborhood is also getting out of the ground on the other side of the harbour and the urban rehabilitation is also an opportunity to connect the old center to this new area.

THE BLOB PAVILLION

Experimental architecture project | Parc | 2015 This experimental project is part of the research that takes place in the digital fabrication studio of the ULB. The research of the studio is about finding new ways to apprehend architecture through new digital fabrication tools and softwares. In this case the parts of architecture that are brought into question are the fundamental ground, wall, roof paradigms. In this pavilion those parts merge together to form one single rounded shape. The furniture like the chairs, beds and sofas are absent because it is the architecture in itself that accomplishes their roles. The exterior structure is as important as the interior one since they are both able to house events , like lectures, performance and concerts. The skin of the pavilion is made of rubber turf so it is pillowy and at the same time easy for maintenance.

rubber spreading and wooden cutouts

The design process was completely made on rhino with the t-spline extension. This unique way of modeling is closer to sculptural work than the classical architectural development procedure. Once the final shape had been sculpted, it is sliced up into wooden cutouts that would then be assembled into the main frame. For the final construction process,a hole is digged out and the frame assembled onto the foundations. The second step being the application of the fiber glass coating to give the final rounded shape. The last step consist of the spreading of the white liquid rubber and the installation of the window frames. The zenital windows bring a mellow light inside of the artificial “cavern”, making it very propitious for meditation and relaxation during the event-free periods.

ANDERLECHT CREMATORIUM

Architecture project | Brussels | 2015 The anderlecht crematorium project is located in the industrial part of Brussels. This location is very challenging because it compels to integrate a delicate program inside of a rather rough area. The proposal responds to this problem by secluding itself from the surroundings with earthen berms and vegetation. Another purpose of this artificial landscape is to accommodate the columbarium. The building itself is half buried giving grazing views of the nature at human height. The simple and sober shapes of the building help the grieving families mourn the deceased one. The journey is made effortless for the visitors through a straightforward sequence of rooms. All the technical parts are either in the basement or concentrated in the center of the building, which leaves the funeral ceremony free of any disturbance.

The proximity of the Brussels/Charleroi canal offers some nice and appeasing views from the two ceremonial halls, the two quiet rooms are located right next to the main hall so the close family can mourn and pray before the beginning of the ceremony They can enter simultaneously with the other guests when the rite starts. The coffin is erected into the room through a special elevator and is lowered down again once is the cremal process is set to be started. The family and friends then exit the hall through a corridor where they can express their condolences. During the cremation the guests can discuss and have a drink in the cafeteria. The funerary urn is then given to the family, that can then decide to put it in the colombarium or to disperse the ashes in the dedicated lawn. The colombarium landscape architecture has been thought to invite the mourning to meditate in a peaceful environment. The paths are sunk into the landscape giving the impression of going into the ground and also protecting the visitors from the surrounding noises .
